Grading, drainage, site prep and land clearing

Free EstimateFairfield County · Bethel · Danbury · Ridgefield · Newtown

Most of the wet-basement, washed-out-driveway and dying-lawn calls we get are a grading problem wearing a different costume — water is being sent toward the house instead of away from it. We do the machine work that fixes it: regrading and reshaping, drainage and drywells, trenching, footings and site prep for patios, walls, additions and driveways, plus land and brush clearing on overgrown lots. Small enough to work a residential back yard, equipped enough to move real material.

Our Process

1

Read the Water

We find where the water actually goes in a storm — the fix follows the grade, not the symptom.

2

Mark & Protect

Utilities marked before a bucket goes in the ground, and access routes matted so the lawn survives the machine.

3

Cut & Fill

Material moved, drainage set at the right pitch, base compacted in lifts rather than dumped in one.

4

Restore

Finish-graded, topsoiled and seeded, and the site left clean rather than rutted.
